- kube-proxy: HealthzBindAddress and MetricsBindAddress now support ipv6 addresses. ([#76320](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76320), [@JieJhih](https://github.com/JieJhih))
- The userspace proxy now respects the IPTables proxy's minSyncInterval parameter. ([#71735](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71735), [@dcbw](https://github.com/dcbw))

The SIG also provided match criteria that allow policy rules to match a source or destination CIDR. Both features are in beta. SIG Network also improved the kube-proxy to include an alpha IPVS mode in addition to the current iptables and userspace modes.
